The calculations below outline how an intrinsic value for
Tanaka Chemical
is arrived at by discounting future dividends to their present value. This
approach is used for finance firms where free cash flow is difficult to estimate
(e.g. Banks/ Insurance firms).

If the firm does not pay the majority of its earnings out as a dividend this
method will often arrive at a value significantly lower than the share price.

The current share price of
Tanaka Chemical
is above its future cash flow value.

Often investors are willing to pay a
premium
for a company that has a high dividend or the potential for future growth.

PRICE RELATIVE TO MARKET

We can also value a company based on what the stock market is willing to pay for
it. This is similar to the price of fruit (e.g. Mangoes or Avocados) increasing
when they are out of season, or how much your home is worth.

Tanaka Chemical's
earnings,
growth
and
assets
is considered below, and whether this is a fair price.

Future Performance

In this section we usually present revenue and earnings growth projections based on the consensus estimates of professional analysts to help investors understand the company’s ability to generate profit. But as Tanaka Chemical has not provided enough past data and has no analyst forecast, its future earnings cannot be reliably calculated by extrapolating past data or using analyst predictions.

This is quite a rare situation as 97% of companies covered by Simply Wall St do have past financial data. You can see them here.

bad,
however if the debt is too high, or the company can’t afford to pay the interest
on its debts this may have impacts in the future.

The graphic below shows equity (available funds) and debt, we ideally want to
see the red area (debt) decreasing.

If there is any debt we look at the companies capability to repay it, and
whether the level has increased over the past 5 years.

Unable to verify if debt is well covered by operating cash flow as Tanaka Chemical has not reported sufficient balance sheet data.
